    Pilot

    Starring two time Oscar winner Hilary Swank. Alaska Daily was created by Tom McCarthy who won a Best Screenplay Oscar for Spotlight. So there were high hopes for the pilot of Alaska Daily.

    Swank plays no nonsense and a know it all New York journalist Eileen Fitzgerald. She thinks she has a new scoop on a rising politician only to find herself fooled with an unreliable source.

    Her arrogance meant that she brushed aside any concerns about journalist ethics.

    The once high flying journalist goes lo fi when she takes up an offer to work in a newspaper in Anchorage, Alaska. The offer comes from Stanley Cornik (Jeff Perry) her former boss.

    The newspaper she arrives to work for is cozy budget run operation. Stanley wants Eileen to look into the murders of indigenous woman that the police have ignored.

    However her methods of journalism puts Eileen into conflict with the locals, the police and some of her own journalists.

    Essentially a fish out of water crime drama. Swank is great with what is a clichéd character. There is an element of seen it all before in shows like Twin Peaks, Northern Exposure or movies such as Wind River.

    I expected a little more originality in the pilot episode and it needs a bit more creativity in future episodes.

    • Goofs
      Eileen states a couple of times that she "works alone" and is initially resistant to working with Roz. But as an experienced reporter, Eileen would be used to working with others. In particular, Eileen would be used to working with a "stringer" who is a person who uses their knowledge of the local area to help an outside reporter write a story. Eileen would have used a stringer for her story in China and would have viewed Roz helping her in a similar fashion.
